You can’t have motion without smoke. You’re already on the minimap.

There are two kinds of men, those who equip silencers, and those who equip Extended Mag. Kleos is the Greek word for fame or renown. It's what Achilles seeks over an obscure and ignominious life. It comes from the root meaning loud. It's a noise, a hero obtains immortality by making a ruckus. Because the words are passed on through poets and through bards. Similarly in the Old Norse, you have the Scalds and the term Ordstirr, which means fame but literally means word glory. As it says in the Havamal, cattle die, kinsmen die, and you yourself shall die. But one thing I know that never dies, the fame of a dead man's deeds. Renown, fame immortality is viewed as a loudness. It echoes in eternity. It's bright. Whenever Homer describes beauty or nobility or greatness, it's brightness, it's lightness, it's shining. Glory is bright and it's loud, and it demands attention. But some people are afraid of attention, some people are afraid of phthonos, of envy. Agamemnon being set up by his wife, communicates the fear of being ashamed by many. He fears that the voice of a multitude is a mighty thing. His wife says he who moves no envy wins no envy. And that's what people are afraid of. It's fear that keeps people small. That's what the boy says to Achilles and Achilles says that is why nobody will remember your name. You have no fame, but a word of encouragement from Goethe. You who are strong don't be so silent. Even if others are frightened, he who would scare the devil must shout loudly. Here's the issue. The spirit of man is not built for fear or coldness or darkness or obscurity or hideous. It's built for light and power and loudness and strength and vigor and virtue. It might scare other man, but it is the only way that you scare the devil himself. You don't negotiate with the devil. You don't trick the grand trickster. This is war. You were born into a spiritual war, so you got some guys in the lobby. We're thinking, I'm going to play it safe. I'm going to equip the silencer, it's going to keep me off the minimap, nobody will notice me. The enemy is on the prowl, bro. He knows where you are and he's trying to eat you. He's got advanced UAV and wall hacks. He knows where you are and what direction you're facing. And so, congrats. You're free. You don't have to hide anymore. And you know the feeling when the enemy gets advanced UAV and you're thinking, well, shit, they know where I am. So I might as well go hard. I might as well ball out here. That's how you should feel every day. Enemy's got advanced UAV. I might as well go balls to the wall. Speed, power, loud, fast, hard. That's what I'm doing. What use is camping when the enemy knows where you are? Take the suppressor off. Go loud. You're on the minimap already. Don't waste the attachment slot on a suppressor so you can hide in the corner. Do your extended mag akimbo. You just need to spit, let down range. That's it. Speed, power, loud, fast, hard, bright. That's it. Why are you hiding behind plywood when the enemy can see through walls? Don't be afraid. Nobody knows the hour in the day of the death. Nobody lives in the evening past the decree of the Norms. Many men escape battle just to die in their homes. And this man finds no honor. So go loud. Death is the enemy and it's cold and it's dark. And it's slippery and it's deceptive and happens by degrees. Virgil says it. C.S. Lewis says it. Don't hide. Pick a fight. Go loud. It's the only way to scare the devil.
